October 19,2018-Citizen TV’s presenter , Jacque
Maribe ‘s lover , Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie, has pleaded with the court to
release him on bail saying he is ready to surrender his passport and report to
the police as often as required .

In an
affidavit signed by his lawyer, Cliff Ombeta, Irungu said he has cooperated
with the police investigating the gruesome murder of Monica Kimani and begged
for Court‘s leniency in giving him a bail.

“As a sign
of goodwill, I am ready and willing to be reporting to my investigating
officers ... as the court may direct, to prove my assertion that I am serious
to have this case finalized without any issue,” Irungu said.

Irungu also
put forward his wounded shoulder that he allegedly shot himself on as he tried
to commit suicide as one of the planks to his request for bail.

“I have a
wound on my left shoulder that has not been properly attended to by medical
doctors and I have only been on painkillers which have not been of any good use
to me as I am in constant pain,” said Irungu.

Maribe and
her lover Joseph Irungu are accused of killing Monica Kimani on the night of
September 20 in Kilimani, Nairobi.
